It makes sense to not take checks. They're too easy to scam, even today. They're just really cheap and don't want to pay the fees for CC and Debit. Not a good sign. That's the kind of owner who skips on the proper cleaners and quality food. There's so many idiots in the restaurant business who thinks scrimping $0.20 on condiments or something will actually save them money.

Most credit/debit card companies just upped their rates. Or did you miss a lot of kroger stores in the US starting to refuse visa because of it, too?

The college kids move away, they are loud, and they cause trouble, and they don't make me money.

The standard rate at worst is roughly 2.5% + $0.30 per transaction but most of these guys have negotiated deals which are closer to 2%. There is also a distinction between the actual payment method...most people these days pay by debit card and debit cards are actually cheaper to process than credit cards and even then most people have a VISA/MasterCard and those are the cheapest of the CCs too. Overall, there is no real reason to not accept credit card for any reason other than tax evasion or other criminal things. The fees aren't that high

There is also the issue of dicking around with the card machines, which break all the time, how long it takes to verify, bad accounts, and all of the other shit that I cut out and spend time on my boat instead of fucking with POS bullshit.
Cash only, my customers have the cash in hand ready to pay, takes a few seconds, I don't hire people who can't do math (I fired a good-looking girl over that this month, she literally could not make change after somehow passing the little informal test I gave her).

Eliminates all of those problems. Weeding out employees who can't do change has been a YUUUUGE time-saver.

this used to be a mobile phone shop kek, in one weekend me and my buddy ripped up the carpeting, sanded off the high glue ridges, and coated it with clear-coat. Then we built a plain plywood high counter bar, coated it with more of the same cheap clear-coat. Installed the oven, a triple sink, and two coolers.
BAM, done.
I get up at 9, come downstairs, take the proofed dough out of the cooler and set it on the counter.
I open the door for my first worker. She has been here 4 years, and prepares all the crusts.
We open at 10:30, I have 2 other employees who show up.
I abscond upstairs 99% of the time.
Come back down after lunch rush, collect my money.
Keep an eye on cleanup, keep them on their toes.

I don't hire dumbfuck employees and have only had a few 20-somethings working here ever.
Going cash was like a light bulb went off, and eliminated employee problems.
All of my cash-handling employees are 30 or 40 something, they are adults, and all of them have worked here over 4 years. Because I pay enough to keep them on, and make it work a mom coming in for lunch, or another guy has a night pizza place on the other size of town and he works here in the day.
I have cameras.

I haven't had a paper money transaction since I was in high school (20 years ago). Even vending machines, apartment rent, utilities providers, and medical billing all work with cards now. Not sure why anyone would want paper money outside of paying a drug dealer or trying to commit a murder in a way that isn't as readily traceable to you. Taxis used to be a major reason but Uber / Lyft are much higher quality (surprisingly, you'd think they'd be worse since they're just random people instead of official taxi drivers, but the application framework idiot proofs everything and shows you where you and they are on a GPS map) and a fraction of the cost.

He doesn't understand what "millennial" means. What he's really talking about are just people under 30 for whatever reason. I'm in my 30s and don't see much difference between other people my age vs. people in their 20s. I think people get too caught up in their imagined stereotypes for these age buckets. It reminds me of back in grade school when kids would always feel so superior for being 3rd graders because they weren't stupid 2nd graders, or 4th graders because they weren't stupid 3rd graders, etc. That always seemed retarded to me to take pride in being slightly ahead on your life's timeline.

Whatever, I don't care about generations I'm just using 'millenial' because it'll trigger you.
> I think people get too caught up in their imagined stereotypes for these age buckets.
It is stereotyped, but it is not 'imagined'. I have seen tangible results from my discrimination as I have described. I still employ a 20-something so no one can say 'discrimination'. No one listens to 20-somethings about age discrimination, it's not a protected group. I thought of firing my near-40s but it's really not worth it as they are a protected class but my best employees, by far, anyway.
You want to know why? Of course you do.
I don't have to tell my Adult employees to be friendly.
I don't have to tell them to clean the particles out of the hand-washing sink.
I don't have to tell them to sweep during the shift.
I don't have to teach them to count money.
I don't have to badger them about wiping the counters.
I don't have to remind them to stay off their phones.
I don't have to put up with their romantic drama.
I don't have to put up with their attitudes, they're all grown up.
My 30+ employees have pride in what they do, they don't like being told what to do so instead of copping an attitude, THEY JUST DO IT.

I will consider letting the daughter of my oldest female employee work here this summer. She's a good kid and her mom is strict, and won't let her daughter fuck around like the other 20-shitters.

I have been audited before. I had to visit the IRS office one time.
I have totes of receipts in my pole barn. I carted them to the office and the IRS agent was actually pretty cool. I brought in one tote and pointed out the window at my truck and said there were 8 more of them in the truck, all filled with receipts.
I use a very old standalone Quick Books and brought in a CD for every transaction for the business. I had a receipt for every transaction. I have a check stub stapled to every outgoing transaction that I've ever made.
My lifestyle is totally consistent with the amount of money I earn.
I said he must be happy this audit is so easy. He said a large portion of audits are, turns out most people do keep their receipts and great records, because money.
I had to bring in 3 more totes at his request, he even went out there with me.
It's a random selection process.
I have the same accountant I've been using since 1994. She is an old lady in a double-wide out in the country. She is a genius, and has every copy of every transaction I've ever made in her storage.
When we ran subs, I used to buy them from a bakery in this town. They retired and gave the biz to their kids, and wanted me to pay them using a payment clearinghouse that would charge me a fee.
I dropped them, as their dad knew I would. I dropped subs. They came back 3 months later and agreed to take my printed check payments. I told them no, getting rid of subs was another way to streamline my business.
They're still in business but had to take on a partner from out of town, now they are just glorified managers in their own business because they were arrogant Millenials who knew it all and their parents were just dumb. Their parents who currently live on a boat in Florida.

If their POS provider was charging a flat fee per transaction, then yeah it's possible you were costing them money. In that case, spending $30-$40 per week is not helping them if you're just in "buying a drink" several times a week, and it's costing them a fixed charge each time. I mean maybe you're right, and you were making them money, but a business just changed its policy specifically to exclude customers like you, so....

I never said it was "discrimination." I just pointed out it's a kind of dumb thing people take pride in, looking at other people who are slightly less far along on their personal timeline and thinking "heh, look at that stupid 30 year old, I'm 40 and completely different ;)"
Really the entire human species is a lot more similar than not. People just get super-obsessed with whatever little differences they can find, real or imagined. In the same way most of us would look at a squirrel and not notice or think much about any of its distinguishing traits compared to every other squirrel around like its age or its sex, an outside perspective (e.g. an extraterrestrial) would probably see us as almost entirely interchangeable too.

The other businesses here cater to students. They come and go.
I cater to the adults who work in this town. I'm still here. This place will be operating if I ever get sick of the winters and decide to go south for half the year.

I am already semi-retired for all practical purposes, I've shed my other businesses which was a small trucking company (truck drivers are THE worst PIAs ever) and basically a self-employment thing where I hauled pallets from two or three companies I have friends at, to a wood-pellet place a couple hours from here. I helped bankroll that one and helped design and build the grinding machine (did you know that nails are pretty hard to reliably remove from shredded wood? We have a patent now). Now his kid does my rounds, free and clear I asked for nothing, just handed it over.
That kid drives a one-ton pickup with a two-axle trailer around and just loads and unloads pallets. Clears about $40k/yr doing it, he's in his 20s but I don't have to deal with him kek.

I don't think carrying cash is a hassle. It's more that needing to keep on retrieving cash from an ATM and then dealing with cash transactions don't really benefit you enough to justify doing that instead of using the card in your same wallet that connects to your same bank account the cash would come from anyway.
It's like deciding to walk around in a large circle when your destination was straight ahead of you. It's not like walking around in a large circle would be a hassle, it's just kind of strange to do when you have a straight path you could take instead.

It's pretty trippy how much your mind can play tricks on you and make you believe you're noticing extremely obvious things that don't exist in reality. For a long time, well into my 20s, I was convinced everyone near my age looked like non-adults. Looking back on old pictures everyone from that timeframe looks like an adult to me now.

That's what I thought when I started, this college has been here 120 years, so it's not like students are going away.
Turns out students need banks, doctors, lawyers, those people need insurance, contractors, repairmen, and the city needs landscapers, sanitation guys, and office workers.
Those are my customers now. They pay 12/12 months.
Students pay 4 out of 12 months.
>bu-but school is 9 months.
Yeah but mid-terms are still a big deal here, the streets are deserted. So are finals of course. Then there is fall break, winter break, and spring break.
Not only is their business wildly intermittent, their tastes change.
My customers already know what they like, and their tastes don't change.
When my customers retire, new people must be hired. Those new people end up eating here b/c the office already has several people that visit a few times a month.
Eliminating students as a customer base has eliminated a huge amount of uncertainty and variabiliity in my business.
The place across the street was a bar, then they lost their liquor license (surprise in a college town), then it became a tattoo place, then it was a koren/ramen shop, now it's a poutine shop. A poutine shop, that is a pretty raging trend.

If you get mugged and have your wad of cash stolen you're not getting it back. If you buy something with cash but it's not what the seller advertised you're not getting it back. You need to balance carrying around a larger wad of cash with visiting an ATM/safety deposit box/pillowcase more frequently. You probably don't have a computer, but if you did you'd have a hard time buying anything online.

On the flip side, your card issuer knows the who and where of every transaction made on your card. There's a transaction fee built into everything so things are a bit more expensive, though given how many credit cards there are and the fact that shops aren't allowed to charge different prices you're going to be paying the extra few percent anyway. It's all about trade-offs, most people are ok with the drawbacks of credit cards if it gets them the extra convenience.

I ran a café that averaged $55k/mo for two years. Did all the books, payroll, inventory/ordering, etc. Lived rent-free in a house owned by the proprieter. Staff (2 most of the time, 3 on weekends and during finals week) was paid minimum wage, plus ~$200/shift each in unreported tips. The entire thing was a massive, sore-thumb front for the owner's cocaine import operation, which would be GLARINGLY obvious to anyone who took a single glance at the books. I genuinely don't know how he gets away with it, considering that the business clears nowhere near the income reported on tax returns. In a way it's funny, because he is paying taxes on illicit income. On the other hand it's brilliant, because by being cash-only (and by far the busiest and best-reviewed coffee shop in the city), regulators don't seem to have any suspicion that he is laundering millions of dollars through the business.

It's more of a hassle to pay with cash. If you had to walk ten miles through the snow up a mountain every time you needed to make a payment you probably wouldn't spend as much money either. Don't know that this means it's a good idea to intentionally make your life more difficult in some roundabout strategy for tricking yourself into being less impulsive.

Everyone's trackable. If anything it'll look suspicious if you're ever mixed up in a case of mistaken identity for a murder suspect and can't produce the same alibi every other non-murderer on the planet today easily could because of your autism about never paying electronically.
And you're wrong, I own guns.

Yeah fuck places that do this, they just are trying to get out of taxes n pay their shit employees at the end of day from the cash box. I will just leave if I see this, the ease for customers with cards and the increased volume of sales easily outweighs the fees too so that's a dumb argument

I'm not paranoid about it, just saying "if anything" that'd be the more realistic thing to worry about then "being trackable." Real people actually do get mixed up in legal problems for shit they didn't do fairly often. Just look at the belated DNA exonerations for false murder convictions alone and realize those are just the ones A) we know about B) were addressed because someone took the time and paid the money to go back and find the case in the first place and C) had enough evidence on hand to even be able to perform the test.

Well it's not just the hassle, it's also the fact that you can't visualize how much money you're spending.
If you drop five $20 bills down, that has more gravity than swiping a card and clicking accept for $100. You think a lot more about it.

Millenial stereotypes are that we never go out, don't go to chain restaurants at all which is why red robin/chilis/applebees etc are all going bankrupt, don't drink, don't get into fights, and in general are far more prudish than generation x or actual boomers. And gen Z is even more prudish than we are. We also don't buy mcmansions or many other retarded things that boomers think are cool and would rather have 4 good pairs of pants than 12+ bad ones like our parents did.

I've noticed there are basically 2 types of restaurants that only take cash:

>Based ethnic places (Indian, korean, mexican, etc), with authentic home-cooked food. Usually with whole family working there. Questionable food hygeine, but usually really good food.

and

>Shitholes run by cheap assholes. The same questionable food hygeine, but the food is pretty much always mediocre. Half the time it's probably frozen/sysco. If they're too cheap to shell out 2% to take card payments, you can bet they're cutting corners elsewhere.

So yeah, if you see a place that doesn't take card, but isn't run by immigrants, there's pretty much no reason to eat there.

>Machines malfunction
At restaurants? I know it can't be too common of a thing because I've lived in a few different major cities in recent years and haven't paid for anything with cash in a very long time.
>service fees
Back when I did pay for things in cash I'd pay for whichever random ATM was around usually. But I guess you could plan it out and make a trip to your own bank periodically or something.
>accumulating debt
I've never been in debt as of 32 years old. Using a card doesn't place you in debt unless you're trying to go out of your way to use credit and not have money in your bank account.
